china has always been committed to providing college teachers and students with low-cost, high-quality resources and various value-added services; it is undeniable that the readers’ dependence on cnki is ever increasing. driven by the market demand, the library's resource construction has changed quietly, and the “journal-network integration” proposed by cnki has catered to the trend and characteristics of the development and change of resource construction. we have a positive attitude towards this exploration and change of cnki. we hope that the journal circle can work with cnki to provide us with better products, better services and better platform.
